Talking Simpsons

Happy new year! As we podcasters wrap up our holiday break, we're taking a week off from Simpsons to give you listeners a special treat: FIVE HOURS of Disney Renaissance chat! In case you didn't know, each month we do a premium podcast, What A Cartoon Movie, for our $10 Patreon subscribers, and now we're giving everyone a taste of the massive animation podcast fun we have each month. So to provide a sample of our 2022 slate of releases, we go scene-by-scene and song-by-song through the classic that inspired See My Vest (among many other things). Enjoy our in-depth history and dissection of this beastly beauty of a film, and be sure to subscribe if you want to hear more!

This week's romantic pod is joined by the great Cody Ziglar (writer for the upcoming Futurama season, She-Hulk, and Spider-Man comics)! After we hear all about working with Matt Groening, we learn about the interior life of Bart's teacher, all while also getting a masterclass in swearing, hockey Allstars, the many uses of zinc, and more.

This week's ep is all about America's favorite jam band, so we welcome back comedian/writer/Phish fan Mike Hanford from the band/podcast The Sloppy Boys! As Homer gets prescription pot after a crow attack, he becomes a very era-appropriate stoner, which leads to him meeting Phish and puppeting Mr. Burns' corpse. So feel free to grab your own Texas THC (where legal) as we giggle nervously with this week's podcast!

Hope everyone had a happy Turkey Day, as we catch up with a whole month worth of news for both our podcast and The Simpsons. We reflect on the most recent episodes and other news, announce some upcoming podcasts (with teases of our upcoming live show!), and talk about the many cool games/films/TV we engaged with in our free time. And, as always, we respond to some of our favorite comments from the most recent podcasts. So grab your body paint and get ready to listen!

This week we join the family on their controversial trip to Brazil, and our buddies Toby Jones (Regular Show, OK K.O.) and Maddie Queripel (Regular Show, Infinity Train) are along for the ride! After a bunch of jokes about early '00s phone companies, the Simpsons head to Rio, and we take time to go into all the moments that caused controversy with representatives of Brazil's government back in 2002. So grab a speedo and let's get in the culturally inaccurate conga line for this week's podcast!
